Phantom of the Opera. They belong to, respectively, Gaston Leroux and
Andrew Lloyd Webber.

A/N: Now that that's done with, here's a short poem I thought up while
considering Erik's feelings about the night. Yes, it's short. I hope you
like it.

Solitude

Darkness is peace.
Invisibility, my cloak from the harsh world.
I am one with the night, its deep mystery a part of me.
Solitude: the gift caresses me, arriving with the sunset.
Enveloped in the shadows,
I am silent and safe once more.
Freed from the blinding cage of day, the music calls me.
